Note: As you may have noticed, the game I posted last month and the copy text didn't match. This series of games was a continuation of an early Loops game that I meant to post. Since it is too late to fix that, I'll make the original game a prequel. - Adam

Odd dreams plaguing students and adults, strange power outages, and a unique new pen pal all crop up as a group of kids try to survive school long enough to make it to Summer Break.
